I ditched my $1,000 Android phone for Google’s $500 one, and I barely noticed a difference

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-19 15:30:24

Joe Maring / Android Authority In the world of writing about Android phones on the internet, it’s very easy to focus solely on the big flagships — the Google Pixel 9 Pros, Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultras, and OnePlus 13s of the world. Those are the phones with the best and flashiest specs, and they’re often the most fun to talk about. But equally important, if not more so, are more affordable handsets. Expensive flagships may be exciting, but they aren’t the phones that everyone is buying. After us

This Android wearable lasts for days, and left my Samsung Galaxy Watch in the dust

ZDNET's key takeaways The OnePlus Watch 3 normally retails for $350. Its long-lasting battery, durability, rotating digital crown, and superb design make this a compelling smartwatch.

It's a non-negotiable right now that every phone-maker out there must have a plan for integrating AI into its devices. OnePlus is a little late to the party, but it's arrived nonetheless. Back in May, the company announced plans for bringing its own vision of personalized AI to OnePlus phones, and from this week, it's rolling out to the OnePlus 13 and 13R.

Joe Maring / Android Authority Since its launch earlier this year, the OnePlus Watch 3 has only been available in a single (and large) 46mm case size. While I love the big, bulky design, that’s not true for everyone, and understandably so. Seemingly in direct response to that, OnePlus has launched the OnePlus Watch (43mm).
